The Northam Neighbourhood Plan will be submitted to Torridge District Council. The District Council undertakes a six-week consultation on the draft Plan. An independent examiner will be appointed to examine the draft Plan to ensure it accords with the ‘basic conditions’ for a Neighbourhood Plan.
The examiner will issue a report stating if he/she is minded to recommend that the draft Plan should proceed to a referendum. Persons entitled to vote in a local election for the area will be entitled to participate. If the majority of votes are in favour of the draft Plan, the District Council will give the Plan legal force, at which point the Plan would form part of the development plan for the area.

2019-2024 Northam Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Group (a sub-committee of the Council)
2024 onwards Northam Town Council Planning and Development Committee (same members and terms of reference as the Advisory Group)
